Iframe loading and the main site.

[MulliGan81]

Having following code

<iframe id="myframe" src="..."></iframe>
 
    <script>
    document.getElementById('myframe').onload = function() {
      alert('myframe is loaded');
    };
    </script>

Is it possible that the iframe finish loading before we assign onload handler in the script?

There is the defer attribute for the javascript but I just noticed you want to wait until the iframe is done loading, not the page that contains the iframe.

Yes i know the defer attribute but i want to know how does the browser process the code when it hits iframe tag. Does it create and start a new thread for loading and procesing iframe code leaving the main thread processing the main site code independantly?
